I'm all for paying more in the interest of environmental protection, but again: is there a viable alternative?
Is reversing the democratization of international travel, which I would argue has been, proportionally, much more of a force for good economically and socially than it has been an instrument of environmental destruction, really the best answer we've got?

Seeing the world is well possible without airplanes if you take out the 5 day trip length! Going for short trips every now and then is very wasteful.
But yes, cutting down on flying will have downsides. As will many other compromises we must do to get CO2 down.
